  • a stent-form (or framework) will be used as a template, onto which a laminated structure of bioabsorbable polymer(s) + dn ⁇ g(s) is overlaid - forming the final stent.
  • This final stent may be fully bioabsorbable if an absorbable stent-form is utilized.
  • a non-absorbable stent-form e.g. stainless steel

  • the laminated structure that results from successive coatings on the stent-form provides a mechanically effective stent (e.g. with deployed hoop strength > 300mm Hg luminal pressure) with thinner struts than traditional metallic stents and which are superior to the known bioabsorbable polymeric stents.
  • the present methods apply several layers (2-100) of bioabsorbable polymer(s) to the stent form (coat-sinter-coat-sinter, repeat). This will result in a laminated polymer structure upon the stenl-form, thus building the struts up to the target dimensions for use (which may be smaller, the same or larger than a metallic stent of similar strut design - depending on the desired mechanical properties of the stent).
  • Single or multiple drugs may be included in one, some or all of these layers. Alternatively the drugs could be located substantially between the polymer layers.
  • This discreet location of drug/drugs is designed to provide specific, time-targeted elution profiles and may enable the elution of multiple drugs in serial fashion.
  • Elements of this embodiment include: [0023] A. The stent form:
  • the stent-form of the present invention is 2-10Ox thinner than a traditional stent (which makes it, in- and-of-itself, difficult to use without the added strength and physical properties of the polymer laminate(s)).
  • B Means for creating the bioabsorbable polymer(s) + drug (s) matrix on the stent- form - forming the final device.

  • the laminated structure that results from successive coatings on the stent-form may provide a mechanically effective stent (e.g. with deployed hoop strength > 300mm Hg luminal pressure) with thinner struts than traditional metallic stents and certainly superior to the known bioabsorbable polymeric stents.
  • the Polymeric sheet material is ideally comprised of bioabsorbable polymers.
  • the polymeric sheet material is ideally a laminated structure. In the laminate, we envision ideal properties to be obtained by alternating 'hard '-'soft' bioabsorbable polymers.
  • the first material aspect of the invention is the creation and unique properties of the polymer film.
  • the polymer sheet could be formed by a succession of coat-sinter-coat-sinter-coat-sinter steps.
  • Inclusion of drug The drug can be formulated in one of three places within the polymer sheet.
  • Carving of the stent architecture includes, without limitation: physical cutting by press, roller, knife, jet, or laser and/or chemically etched by wet- chemistry or dry-plasma means.
  • One alternative method of carving may be to physically carve the stent architecture while the polymer sheet is exposed to a compressed fluid environment (e.g. similar to Micell's sintering process). Such exposure could 'soften' the polymer sheet aiding in carving.
  • the invention provides improved mechanical properties compared to conventional bioabsorbable stents.
  • the present invention provides a laminated bioabsorbable polymer stent, with significantly increased in strength, deformability, hoop stress (both pre- and post- expansion) and other mechanical properties.
  • a laminate structure is inherently stronger and more effective in the deformation processes necessary for DES use (crimping onto a balloon, expansion into the diseased vessel).
  • the invention provides the ability to obtain greater hoop-strength in the deployed stent based on the laminate architecture of the stents.
  • the present invention allows the formation of a laminate of different bioabsorbable polymers (e.g., PLA, PGA and copolymers thereof) with different mechanical properties: hard-soft-hard-soft-hard-soft type of laminated structure.
  • One attribute of a hard-soft structure will be to provide a unique and novel control of the pressure needed for expansion of the stent.
  • the soft laminate layer By designing the soft laminate layer to act as the 'slip layer' or 'lubrication' between neighboring layers the stress needed for expansion can be 'dialed in' (range 3-30 atm pressure for full expansion).
  • Another advantage of the present invention is the ability to create a stent with a completely novel drug-elution profile. Via the ability to have different materials in each layer of the laminate structure and the ability to control the location of drug(s) independently in these layers, the method enables a bioabsorbable stent that could release drugs at very specific elution profiles, programmed sequential and/or parallel elution profiles. Also, the present invention allows controlled elution of one drug without affecting the elution of a second drug (or different doses of the same drug).
  • the embodiments incorporating a stent form or framework provide the ability to radiographically monitor the stent in deployment.
  • the inner- diameter of the stent can be masked (e.g. by a non-conductive mandrel). Such masking would prevent additional layers from being on the interior diameter (abluminal) surface of the stent.
  • the resulting configuration may be desirable to provide preferential elution of the drug toward the vessel wall (luminal surface of the stent) where the therapeutic effect of anti- restenosis is desired, without providing the same antiproliferative drug(s) on the abluminal surface, where they may retard healing, which in turn is suspected to be a cause of late-stage safety problems with current DESs.

  • the desired morphology of a pharmaceutical agent would be crystalline or semi-crystalline or amorphous, although this may vary widely depending on many factors including, but not limited to, the nature of the pharmaceutical agent, the disease to be treated/prevented, the intended storage conditions for the substrate prior to use or the location within the body of any biomedical implant. Preferably at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100% of the pharmaceutical agent is in crystalline or semi- crystalline form.
  • Stabilizing agent refers to any substance that maintains or enhances the stability of the biological agent.
  • stabilizing agents are classified as Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) materials by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
  • stabilizing agents include, but are not limited to carrier proteins, such as albumin, gelatin, metals or inorganic salts.
  • Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient that may be present can further be found in the relevant literature, for example in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives: An International Guide to More Than 6000 Products by Trade Name, Chemical, Function, and Manufacturer; Michael and Irene Ash (Eds.); Gower Publishing Ltd.; Aldershot, Hampshire, England, 1995. [0069J "Compressed fluid” as used herein refers to a fluid of appreciable density (e.g., >0.2 g/cc) that is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
  • Supercritical fluid refers to a compressed fluid under conditions wherein the temperature is at lease 80% of the critical temperature of the fluid and the pressure is at least 50% of the critical pressure of the Quid.
  • Examples of substances that demonstrate supercritical or near critical behavior suitable for the present invention include, but are not limited to carbon dioxide, isobutylcne, ammonia, water, methanol, ethanol, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, dimethyl ether, xenon, sulfur hexafluoride, halogenatcd and partially halogenated materials such as chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons (such as perfluoromethane and perfuoropropane, chlorofo ⁇ n, trichloro-fluoromethane, dichloro- difluoromethane, dichloro-tetrafluoroethane) and mixtures thereof.
  • “Sintering” as used herein refers to the process by which parts of the matrix or the entire polymer matrix becomes continuous (e.g., formation of a continuous polymer film). As discussed below, the sintering process is controlled to produce a fully conformal continuous matrix (complete sintering) or to produce regions or domains of continuous coating while producing voids (discontinuities) in the matrix. As well, the sintering process is controlled such that some phase separation is obtained between polymer different polymers (e.g., polymers A and B) and/or to produce phase separation between discrete polymer particles. Through the sintering process, the adhesions properties of the coating are improved to reduce flaking of detachment of the coating from the substrate during manipulation in use.
  • the sintering process is controlled to provide incomplete sintering of the polymer matrix.
  • a polymer matrix is formed with continuous domains, and voids, gaps, cavities, pores, channels or, interstices that provide space for sequestering a therapeutic agent which is released under controlled conditions.
  • a compressed gas, a densified gas, a near critical fluid or a super-critical fluid may be employed.
  • carbon dioxide is used to treat a substrate that has been coated with a polymer and a drug, using dry powder and RESS electrostatic coating processes.
  • isobutylene is employed in the sintering process. In other examples a mixture of carbon dioxide and isobutylene is employed.
  • reaction that is minimized by the processes of the invention relates to the ability to avoid conventional solvents which in rum minimizes autoxidation of drug, whether in amorphous, semi-crystalline, or crystalline form, by reducing exposure thereof to free radicals, residual solvents and autoxidation initiators.
  • "Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions” or “RESS” as used herein involves the dissolution of a polymer into a compressed fluid, typically a supercritical fluid, followed by rapid expansion into a chamber at lower pressure, typically near atmospheric conditions. The rapid expansion of the supercritical fluid solution through a small opening, with its accompanying decrease in density, reduces the dissolution capacity of the fluid and results in the nucleation and growth of polymer particles.
  • the atmosphere of the chamber is maintained in an electrically neutral state by maintaining an isolating "cloud" of gas in the chamber. Carbon dioxide or other appropriate gas is employed to prevent electrical charge is transferred from the substrate to the surrounding environment.
  • “Bulk properties" properties of a coating including a pharmaceutical or a biological agent that can be enhanced through the methods of the invention include for example: adhesion, smoothness, con formality, thickness, and compositional mixing.
  • “Electrostatically charged” or “electrical potential” or “electrostatic capture” as used herein refers to the collection of the spray-produced particles upon a substrate that has a different electrostatic potential than the sprayed particles.
  • the substrate is at an attractive electronic potential with respect to the particles exiting, which results in the capture of the particles upon the substrate, i.e. the substrate and particles are oppositely charged, and the particles transport through the fluid medium of the capture vessel onto the surface of the substrate is enhanced via electrostatic attraction.
  • the present invention provides several advantages which overcome or attenuate the limitations of current technology for bioabsorbable stents.
  • an inherent limitation of conventional bioabsorbable polymeric materials relates to the difficulty in forming to a strong, flexible, deformablc (e.g. balloon deployable) stent with low profile.
  • the polymers generally lack the strength of high-performance metals.
  • the present invention overcomes these limitations by creating a laminate structure in the essentially polymeric stent.
  • the increased strength provided by the stents of the invention canbe understood by comparing the strength of plywood vs. the strength of a thin sheet of wood.
  • Embodiments of the invention involving a thin metallic stent-framework provide advantages including the ability to overcome the inherent elasticity of most polymers. It is generally difficult to obtain a high rate (e.g., 100%) of plastic deformation in polymers (compared to elastic deformation where the materials have some 'spring back' to the original shape).
  • a sheet of polymer film is imprinted by rolling a cylinder across the surface of the sheet.
  • the polymer sheet is made from bioabsorbable polymers prepared by spraying alternating layers of different polymers onto a conductive substrate. The order in which the layers are applied is determined by the desired film mechanical properties. Drug may be applied between each layer or selectively between desired layers. Drug is applied using a dry powder coating technique.
  • a cylindrical, patterned rod is rolled across the polymer film creating a stent in a gravure printing like process.
  • Several methods exist for creating the pattered rod such as using photoresist-etch process. Alternatively the pattern could be laser cut into the solid rod.
  • the flat polymer sheet is cut into strips with widths slightly greater than the circumference of the finished stent.
  • the polymer strips are then rolled around a lubricious non-patterned cylinder (i.e., Teflon) that acts as a form.
  • This object is then placed in pressure vessel and sealed.
  • Gas such as dichlorofluoromethanc is added to the pressure vessel until the pressure inside the vessel equals the vapor pressure of the gas at the temperature of the vessel.
  • a suitable gas is dichlorofluoromethane at a temperature of 37 0 C.
  • the gas sinters the polymer strip and welds the seam together creating a polymeric stent supported on a Teflon cylinder. After the stent is sintered it is slid off the support.
  • Example 2
  • a bioabsorable metal such as magnesium is used as a form onto which bioabsorbable polymer(s) can be sprayed in layered fashion.
  • a polymer layer of one type such as PLA is sprayed on the stent and sintered.
  • a second polymer layer of another type such as PGA is then sprayed onto the metal form holding the first polymer layer.
  • the stent is sintered again to create a tri-layered structure consisting of metal-polymer type I-polymer type II. The process could be repeated with the same or additional types of polymers to build a coating of desired thickness and desired mechanical properties.
  • drug such as rapamycin or Taxol or other anti-restenotic could be dry powder coated onto any given polymer layer or the metal base stent itself.
  • a metal, such as stainless steel, base stent is etched to a vanishingly small size while being supported on a Teflon or similarly lubricious rod.
  • the outside diameter of the rod is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the stent and serves to support the etched metal stent and mask the inside (luminal) surface.
  • the mask should limit the amount of material deposited on this surface.
  • the stent can coated as in example 2 to achieve the desired mechanical and coating properties.
  • a second drug can be deposited in any desired layer to achieve a desired elution profile.
  • An alternative to example 3 is removal of the mask for the luminal surface of the stent. Both the stent surfaces are coated with drug(s) and polymer. The stent is supported by its own mechanical strength on the stent fixture.
  • a single or multiple drugs (Paclitaxel or Picrolimus, for example) can be deposited in any layer of the polymer coating or through the thickness of the polymer coat
